| | | | | Nice Dew. So if a certain species of Dews had their habitat in the hills, would they be Mountain Dews? :-) I have also wondered why Storm Troopers needed Dewbacks when they could have used speederbikes or something; I suppose having them ride the (...)

I'm assuming the most obvious (outside of the SW movie universe) reason is that Lucas didn't have the (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jul-04, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) And were the Dewbacks local or did they bring their own? It would seem unlikely that the All Powerfull Empire would have to scrounge up local transport, but on the other hand a Star Destroyer doesn't seem to be an ideal environment for the (...)

| | | | | | | (...) Dewbacks being local is more logical than Banthas. After all, lizards are good at adapting to desert conditions. Hairy animals not so good. (...) Indead - they are as big as an elephant, with no savannah grasses or trees to snack on to keep up (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jul-04, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

Hair is protective against abrassion from sandstorms, from the extreme cold experienced at night or during the winter (though Tattooine, being a predominantly desert ecology, probably doesn't have much in the way of cold (...)

| | | | | | | | (...) Camel hair is not as long and is more reflective than the dark hair of the Banthas. (...) True - if the Banthas lived in a wooly mamoth habitat, it would be more tundra like than polar like. But I suppose the tundra can be arid to. I guess I (...)

Well, for a possible in-story explanation, if they didn't have a regular garrison there (and it's implied that they didn't), they might have had the same trouble adjusting their speeders and such to desert conditions as the Rebels did (...)

Playing Star Wars Galaxies, there are two benefits of the Dewbacks versus speeders: 1. Hostile creatures can't flat out and quickly (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jul-04, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

If I was a stormtrooper I'd have commandeered something a bit more comfortable and (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jul-04, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

I'm sure they didn't have any reason to garrison troops there. I mean, it's not like the rebels would do (...) (20 years ago, 30-Jul-04, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)
